* The slower the digestion, the more back up of waste forms in the colon thereby increasing congestion and mucus.

* Congestion and mucus leads to a build up of toxins in the system and toxins begin a process of inefficiency of energy usage in the body.

* The build up of toxin places increased effort on the respiratory system that in turn places increased effort on the heart and blood flow within the system.

* These two systems, if less efficient, slow down the body’s ability to clean out the waste and the lymph system becomes overtaxed.

* The liver, kidneys, and skin attempt to get rid of the waste but have to work overtime putting more stress on the entire system.

* The whole system with all these demands and pressures slows down. As it slows down, it in fact reduces the circulation creating a cycle of ever-increasing effects until the system, in its attempt to get out of this chain of events, breaks down. SOURCE
